Gretsch is known for doing quality drums from 1883 and made in the USA. Nowadays, Gretsch is making different series of drums from entry level (made in China) to high end which are made in USA and always with the seek of excellence. That « Great Gretsch Sound » put this manufacturer into the classic range of drums, and history speaks to it.

Today’s working drummers need a kit that can do it all—and do it well. The newly designed 2016 Gretsch Renown is one of the most versatile drum sets ever made. Now, with one drum set, you can play with the sensitivity and touch to handle the smoothest grooves of the 1950s; the attack and projection required to drive the most powerful compositions of the 60s and 70s; and the clarity and vibrance needed to faithfully reproduce the clean studio sounds of the 80s, 90s and beyond.

Renown still features the classic 7-ply Gretsch formula maple shells, with 30-degree bearing edges and exclusive “Silver Sealer” interiors. But this Renown comes with a new twist with the addition of the Gretsch's player-friendly “302” hoop—the same hoop used on Gretsch's Brooklyn and Broadkaster series drums. Gretsch 302 hoops produce the desirable focused sound like that of a die cast hoop, but are lighter in weight and less rigid, allowing the drum to better “breath” and achieve maximum resonance. The 2016 Renown delivers the traditional Gretsch sound with an incredible open, harmonic tone that supplies the versatility needed to meet the demands of the hardest working drummers. Setup : 24 bass drum, 13 medium tom and 16 floor tom Set sold without snare drum, hardware and without cymbals. The Silver Oyster finish looks amazing!

This drumset has a 2 year warranty including spare parts. Our workshop also offers a custom drum service including tuning and drum optimization which allows your drum to sound like you want to.
